The increased incidence we see in the
regular schools of serious misbehavior problems, desperate attention
seeking, and bullying is directly related to the lack of one-on-one loving
attention children are getting in (daycares). They are crying for
help, by these antics. And yet some misguidedly said the child would
do well in such group settings and be 'socialized'. In is a negative
socialization...

We know that learning happens in many
locations not just with our hallowed halls and we urge parents to partner
with us ...
...We know that 'education' is a very broad thing and we do not claim we own
it.
The same however is not realized by daycare lobbyists who seem to say that
only in their little buildings do children learn at all. This highly
deceptive claim is however a pressure to mislead the public into thinking if
you don't buy into their one style of child-care, you are against any
learning of the very young.

Daycare workers have a fast turnover because even
the daycare worker does not like to stay in the environment. How can
we imagine kids like it?

We are deluding ourselves if we think
that daycare workers are an improvement on parents. They are
substitutes for parents. And if we value the substitute and we should,
we should at least value the original- the parent, as much. The
daycare legislation funds only the substitute, which is simply illogical...

The irony then of the 'early learning'
claim is that (Daycare) is not optimal learning, and the main focus is not
really the best level of education of the child at all...
...The focus is obviously to give children somewhere to be that has some
toys in it, while the parent is doing what the state really values, earning
and paying tax.

New report examines effects
nationwide of preschool on kids' development
by Kathleen Maclay,

On average, the report ("The Influence
of Preschool Centers on Children's Development Nationwide: How Much Is Too
Much?" by researchers based at the University of California, Berkeley, and
Stanford University) finds that the earlier a child enters a preschool
center, the slower his or her pace of social development...
"Our results for the intensity of attending a center program - measured in
hours per week and months per year - are worrisome...", the report says.

"So, the report's a bit sobering for
(politicians)... who are getting behind universal preschool," UC Berkeley
sociologist and co-author Bruce Fuller said
A report issued last week by the National Institute for Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD) found...that the negative effect of long hours in
child care (not limited to preschool) is slowing children's social
development well into third grade.
